You mean the format of the device model string is potentially abnormal? I agree, I'd believe it if it turned out to be because these were white labeled into an OEM builder. But that's just a guess....

The 10Tb test posted in the screenshots above should be considered invalid as in error was done on a USB 2 port instead of the USB 3 port.
I stopped that test and plugged the drive and 3 more...

I see this 12Tb HD price increased by $10 to $90!
For the Victoria HD test I left everything at default. That's why I mentioned the 10,000 ms timeout.
I agree with you that even though the...

Would you mind posting a screenshot of the test you're running on Victoria? A single pass, sequential read test should not take a week on any properly functioning drive. I've never had a 16-18TB...

Those who plan to use the above or other HDD integrity tests should probably set the ms timeout to a realistic number. 250 has been suggested by a HDD web site.
